Hypericum perforatum It's a medicinal herb. Many generations of my family have gathered and used it to treat a cold in winter. It's believed that the best time to gather it on July, 7-th. That's the time of the ancient pagan holiday of the Slavs which is called Ivan Kupala Day. To that day flowers are supposed to accumulate maximum solar energy. That's a believe of our folk. The picture was taken on that particular day. Belarus,Geotagged,Hypericum L,Hypericum llanganaticum,Hypericum perforatum,St John's wort Click/tap to enlarge Country intro

  1. I think you have to review the species ID, Hypericum llanganaticum is endemic to Ecuador and this is not what the geotag says. This is a list of species from Belarus.
